I've only read about one person finding a 2009 D nickel roll last week on another forum. I've been searching on ebay for months now and have not found any business strike D nickels or dimes for sale or sold as of yet. (other then one certified MS-65 d nickel for $550.00) I have asked on this forum twice over the last few months and so far have heard no word of any at shows either. At this point I might trade roll for roll of silver for the illusive D-mint Business Strike nickles and dimes. This is a modern day key just waiting to be discovered at your local bank! Frustrating, but on some level, fun! |

I'm getting about half a roll of cents in every box, although I have yet to find a LP4 D. I'm keeping all of them. I've found one 2009 P nickel after searching 3 boxes. That puts me on par with coppernickeldaddy, although he had to search 16,000 rolls to find his.  I have 2 quarters and no dimes, although, to tell you the truth, I haven't looked much for them. But the cents are starting to show up more and more. Matt |

There was an extremely low mintage on the Dimes and Nickels for 2009. The Mint stopped producing them early in the year.....so they're going to be scarce. As far as the LP4, I've found three now, but just give it time ....they're sitting in the Fed. Resv. banks and they be out in plenty supply soon. Qtrs. will be the same. (Though with the '09 Qtrs., really, I have seen a moderate amount of the "D" mint Territories......they were never "scarce" here in Kansas) There wasn't any need for coinage from most banks last year, and so there are just hoards of new coinage sitting in vaults waiting to be ordered by banks......give it time. (The Nickels & Dimes FOR '09, however, ARE JUST GONNA BE SCARCE !) The mintage numbers ARE known for these I believe, so one can see for ones' self why there so hard to come by.....and these are probably sitting in a vault somewhere too, and what little there is, just hasn't been "released" into circulation in total volume just yet.) I do not believe that the LP4 (P or D) is a "low mintage" by any means whatsoever....so the flood of these just hasn't quite begun yet. Quote:
hemisboats..... --- I agree about LP, as I have many roles of all 4 varieties. I'm talking about the nickel, dime, quarter and half dollar And "Halves"......well..... they haven't been minted for circulation in years.....so you shouldn't see many of those ! Edited by eaglefoot

The half dollar is not in circulation and can only get them in the uncirculated mint sets of by getting the rolls from the US Mint.
As for the pennies have found 2009 but also no LP4 and dined and nickles none as of yet. Every time I get a nice looking nickel or dime I look but never 2009 yet.

If you think the '09 nickels and dimes are tough to find, don't even think about finding 2010 (nickel & dimes)for a long, long time.

I have search 400 rolls of nickels. The '09 nickels and dimes are in Puerto Rico. As for the '09 LP4, I have found 2 of them.

I agree that the nickels and dimes are hard to find. I see lots of the 09 quarters, and alot of the first 3 varieties of pennies. I've only found 1 LP4 - in change from Starbucks.
Halves, as mentioned, should be VERY scarce, as they aren't supposed to be in circulation.
As I find them, I will roll them and hoard them. Same for the 2010's as I believe the very low mintages will pay off for collectors down the road. Just my .02 (zinc .02 also).

2009 Lincoln Cent Mintage The 2009 Lincoln Cents had some surprising low mintage figures compared to prior years. The low mintages are a result of the economy, which has driven old coins back into circulation, diminishing the need to produce new coins. Additionally, because the 2009 Lincoln Cent will have four different designs, the mintage must be divided across four different coins. The low number of coins minted have also experienced limited distribution since the Federal Reserve is working through a glut of old coinage before new coins are released. The low mintage, limited distribution, and high demand for the 2009 Lincoln Pennies have combined to create premiums for the coins on the secondary market. Whether or not these prices eventually come down, when the dust settles, the 2009 Lincoln Pennies will have the lowest mintages for their denomination in decades. The final mintage for the 2009 "Birthplace", "Formative Years", "Professional Life", and "Presidency" Lincoln Cents have all been provided by the United States Mint. The lowest mintages were achieved for the fourth design with 129.6 million produced in Philadelphia and 198 million produced in Denver. 2009 Lincoln Cent Mintages Philadelphia Denver Total Birthplace Lincoln Penny 284,400,000 350,400,000 = 634,800,000 Formative Years Lincoln Penny 376,000,000 363,600,000 = 739,600,000 Professional Life Lincoln Penny 316,000,000 336,000,000 = 652,000,000 Presidency Lincoln Penny 129,600,000 198,000,000 = 327,600,000 Just thought I'd share since everyone seems to be having a harder time finding the LP4's. Seems like the mintages are half of what the rest were. Edited by captainkurt

The last time total year mintage figures for the penny were as low as 2009 was 1966! (2,188,147,783)And that year no D or S mints were issued!
The last time a single design mintage was less then the 2009 P-mint LP4 was the 1955 S-mint penny. (44,610,000)

All four 2009 penny designs are relatively abundant here in NYC. Not as common as 2008, but about where you would expect them to be considering the mintage numbers. I don't even bother saving them anymore. I even got one 2010 already.
Nickels and dimes I have not seen. I work at a Starbucks and get to play with all the change (yippee!) but haven't seen any yet. Like stated above, these have not be released in great numbers but will eventually work there way around.
Quarters are everywhere around here. No rarity if you ask me.
Any chance the mint will hold of on producing 2010 nickels/dimes? There seems to be no need for them right now so maybe they'll just skip the year? Thoughts?

They won't skip it, but will produce less, and release them into the wild later.
